"Jeez, Melphy, it's been a lot more than one or two days. What have yooooou been doing?"
I'll admit, haven't been able to focus on this as much as I'd like, there was a big Halloween party over here and even though I wasn't really a participant, I was expected to help get the house ready so... Yay.
But honestly a lot of the delay is due to my terrible terrible writing habits. What sort of writing habits?
Well, for example, one of the random encounters is a simple sort of stop over at a farm house (and maybe a little roll in the hay with the farmer's daughter if you're so inclined. It's a bit stereotypical, but it's a minor event), and that seems short and simple right? Hah! Oh no, that's underestimating my habits. Just getting into the building is over a thousand words, and I suspect the entire scene will easily hit 4000 all told. And how much is 4000 in the scheme of things really? It means that, assuming I release as soon as the scene is done, the singular farm scene will amount to 10% of the type written content (including code).
And since I've been working on Zone 2 as well, the random event update is taking a bit longer than expected. With that in mind, do people want to wait until I have two events all done like I planned, or would you rather see the one as opposed to waiting? Post your opinion in any of my threads or here and, well, it'll adjust what I release.
hey a party is always good, and i prefer a scene to be written well the first time, saves you wanting to go back and do it again, and again... I say stick to your guns, better to have lots of good quality then realising small updates... my two cents. love the work so far!
ReplyDeleteI second that motion. It's ready when it's ready.
